That is not the only way how they can see your logins. For example, if you use wifi connection and somebody is sniffing packets you are wide open. No matter is it http or https , sslstrip and similar packages on linux are removing ssl, making protection useless.

It's possible that you set up a billing agreement with this company and forgot about it... 99% of the time this is the case. It's just rare that a paypal account gets hacked. I'm sure it wasn't a large amount of money? Paypal would have halted the transaction if over 250 and from a different IP.

Thanks x 2

Nope. That's not true.

99% Paypal gets hacked because of same password on multiple sites. Let's say a big website is compromised and the database became public (that's common if you read news), then cracker grab millions of email and password combination and try to login into Paypal with automated tools. And people who used same password on Paypal as on compromised websites gets their Paypal login in crackers hand.
